Just got an email message from NVC that I am scheduled for interview on August 29, 2005! 630 am!
Prasin, Kid, and others thank you for your prayers!
Suzanne, Dale, precy, rosario, and others in this forum, thanks a lot!
Rosarrio, this is what I am referring to, that NVC sends out interview schedules ahead of the appointment letters, suggest everyone sends an email inquiry to NVC!
Shaider, i've been trying to call you, I hope you will be included in the schedule also!
I know that I have not received the visa yet, but this is a good start!
For god be all the glory!

congratulations, dhel! how i wish i can already say the same, that i am scheduled for an interview at the US embassy of manila......
anyways, i would like to ask how i can make an inquiry to the NVC regarding the status of my application...what's their e-mail address and how should i address them in such a way that they will easily answer my concerns.... i believe there is this format in sending an e-mail so they can elicit at once the details of my query...thank u very much and hope to hear from u soon...again, i'm happy for u and looking forward to your sharing of experience after your august 29 interview...God bless and good luck.... :balloons: :balloons: :Melody: :Melody:

I suggest that you be specific on your question. Just don't ask for an update, ask them if you will be scheduled on August or September.
I hope everything will turn out fine, now I am focusing on earning money to pay for the medical ($95 each), vaccination, etc. etc. And for those of you who only paid $335.00 on the visa fees, you need to pay an additional $45.00 becasue of the fee increase on the day of the interview.
Also, if you receive an interview schedule (appoinment letter) from the US embassy, it means your scheduled for a preliminary interview. If you receive a packet 4 or a schedule from NVC, it means thats your "final" interview.
Will they reply promptly?. How is the responce over email? What would u suggest as best.. calling or email???
I suggest you email them. What's ironic is, if they reply 1-2 days,there's no update in your case. But if 3-4 days there might be an update in your case. These are based on my experience, maybe circumstantial but may have logic behind these.
